This is an oil well in the Baldwin Hills, located just west of Los Angeles, California, between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica. This drill is one of thousands that drills the rich oil sands of the numerous Oil Fields in the Los Angeles Basin. At one point in the 1920's, the Los Angeles Basin produced over 25% of the entire world's oil supply, producing over 9 billion barrels of oil. In fact, Los Angeles became the huge city that is today because of the oil industry... not because of Hollywood. Besides being used in cars, oil is actually essential to making plastic- so you can thank LA's oil for plastic.
A) What type and classification of natural resource is oil?
B) What are some disadvantages of using oil?
A) Nonrenewable Resource, Energy OR Physical Resource
B) It pollutes the environment, it takes much longer to form that it takes to use, etc. (I will accept other reasons that make sense and that are backed up with good reasons/explanations)
